Sorry guys, just a quick question. Were do you mount your batt's on a tlt? I'm thinking upper front links?
Sorry, I've only had clods before.

Thanks for your time, Stu.

Any pics would be great.

Look on the TLT gallery to get some ideas

Part of battery mounting will depend on the chassis you are using and your intended purpose for the crawler. This is how I have mine mounted on my SW2 chassis:

I'm using a couple of left over parts from the original TLT kit and a battery bar from an RC18T. This method will only work with 2/3A's or LiPo batteries (or I suppose AA's if you built a pack out of them).

Overall, it's clean and easy to access the battery and has shown to not be detrimental to the performance of the crawler.

there is also a thread under the electronics section with a pack made of 2/3 a's 5 across the top of the servo and one hanging off of each end. cheap battery packs.com has made 4 of these for me and they are a very nice fit. and the front is not limited on articulation like a full size stick pack would create.
